Viewing Connection Services

A broker is distinguished by the connection services it provides and
the physical destinations it supports.

To View Available Connection Services

Select Services under the broker’s name in the Administration
Console window’s navigation pane.

A list of the available
services will appear in the result pane (see Figure 2–6), showing the name, port number, and current state of each
service.

Figure 2–6 Viewing Connection Services

Select a service by clicking on its name in the result pane.

For this exercise, select the name jms.

Choose Properties from the Actions menu.

The Service
Properties dialog box (Figure 2–7)
will appear. You can use this dialog box to assign the service a static port
number and to change the minimum and maximum number of threads allocated for
it.

Figure 2–7 Service Properties Dialog Box

For this exercise, do not change any of the connection service’s
properties.

Click OK to accept the new property values and dismiss the dialog
box.

The Actions menu also contains commands for pausing and resuming
a service. If you select the admin service and pull down the Actions menu,
however, you will see that the Pause Service command is disabled. This is
because the admin service is the Administration Console’s link to the
broker: if you paused it, you would no longer be able to access the broker.
